Great news laszla, I'm glad it's behind you. Thanks for the update, it will be encouraging for others who may be wary of going for the procedure under GA. I so sympathise over the poor sleep - it's the one really troublesome consequence of menopause I've really struggled to crack. I hope you feel better soon.
Hi IceLolly, great to hear your hysteroscopy was straightforward. Experiences vary so much, but yours will also be reassuring to anyone who feels they'd like to try that way. I've had the procedure 3 times under 3 different conditions (general anaesthetic, local anaesthetic with light sedation & no anaesthetic or sedation). I had no say in conditions for the latter & though over quickly, it was carried out when I was several years postmenopause, as a small (size 6 hips

), childless woman, with inadequately controlled GSM & would not recommend it to anyone in similar circs.
As I posted earlier, the best of the 3 for me was with local anaesthetic & light sedation, though I was still pre-menopause at that time, with a robust access route!
Imo it would be great if all 3 options were always offered, with advice about what to expect from each & which might be best suited to individual circumstances, taking into consideration life stage, whether GSM or other relevant painful conditions are present & any personal concerns or preferences.
